Abstract EN
In this controlled prospective clinical study the highly viscous glass ionomer cement Ketac Molar was clinically assessed in Class I and Class II cavities.
Forty-nine subjects (mean age 32.3 years) received 108 restorations placed by six operators in conventional Black I and II type cavities with undercuts after excavating primary lesions or after removing insufficient restorations.
At baseline, and after 6, 12, and 24 months, restorations were assessed by two independent investigators according to modified USPHS codes and criteria.
Impressions of the restorations were taken and epoxy replicas were made.
Between the baseline and the 24-month recall, 51 representative samples were analyzed at 130 × magnification by use of a stereo light microscope (SLM).
Recall rates were 83% after 6 months, 50% after 12 months, and 24% after 24 months.
Failure rates after 24 months were 8% for Class I and 40% for Class II fillings, mainly due to bulk fracture at occlusally loaded areas (Kaplan Meier survival analysis).
Significant changes over time were found for the criteria “surface roughness”, “marginal integrity”, “restoration integrity”, and “overall judgement” (P<.05; Friedman test).
SLM analysis revealed statistically significant differences for the following criteria over time (baseline/6 months/12 months (in % of entire evaluable margin length); P<.05; Friedman 2-way ANOVA): perfect margin 37/19/11, negative step formation 26/49/57, gap formation 2/7/9, and overhang 24/11/8.
Replicas exhibited mainly negative step formation as main finding due to apparently inferior wear resistance (P<.05).
Gap formations were more frequently observed in Class II restorations than in Class I (12% versus 3% after 12 months; P<.05, Mann-Whitney-U test).
The evaluated margin lengths were not statistically different (P>.05, Friedman 2-way ANOVA).
